Chelsea have agreed to a new deal with defender Mark Kukulera.
The 27-year-old has been an important player for Enzo Maresca for the past 12 months, and it’s no surprise that Chelsea wanted to sort out his long-term future. He is an important player for them and he aims to help them win major trophies in upcoming campaigns.
Fabrizio Romano claims that a contract has been signed with players in the new deal.
The Spanish defender helped Chelsea recently win the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Europa League. Chelsea can’t afford to lose players of his quality anytime soon, and they’ve come well to secure his future with the club.
Chelsea must keep Mark Kukulera
Chelsea was very active in the transfer market, bringing quality signatures. However, maintaining key players will also become a priority.
Kukulera will be pleased that he has also sorted out his Chelsea future. He now aims to focus on his football and help the Blues fight for the main trophies.
The defender is at the peak of his career and he aims to play his best football next season. It will be interesting to see if he can help Chelsea return to the top of British football.
Can Chelsea build on recent success?
Chelsea showed a major improvement under Maresca last season, and they are trying to build on it. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to compete with clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City due to the league title.
Cucurella has been a challenge to start his life at Chelsea since joining them from Brighton, but he has turned it around and he is an essential asset to the club.
